SeongJae Park 472213a675 rcutorture: Print out barrier error as document says
Tests for rcu_barrier() were introduced by commit fae4b54f28 ("rcu:
Introduce rcutorture testing for rcu_barrier()").  This commit updated
the documentation to say that the "rtbe" field in rcutorture's dmesg
output indicates test failure.  However, the code was not updated, only
the documentation.  This commit therefore updates the code to match the
updated documentation.

This commit adds a dump of the scheduler state for stalled rcutorture

Paul E. McKenney 9efafb8849 rcutorture: Allow for rcupdate.rcu_normal
Currently, rcu_torture_writer() checks only for rcu_gp_is_expedited()
when deciding whether or not to do dynamic control of RCU expediting.
This means that if rcupdate.rcu_normal is specified, rcu_torture_writer()
will attempt to dynamically control RCU expediting, but will nonetheless
only test normal RCU grace periods.  This commit therefore adds a check
for !rcu_gp_is_normal(), and prints a message and desists from testing
dynamic control of RCU expediting when doing so is futile.

Paul E. McKenney ca1d51ed98 rcutorture: Test SRCU cleanup code path
The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations.
This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it
does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated
->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables.  However, rcutorture currently uses
a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to
cleanup_srcu_struct().  Therefore, this commit adds a second form
of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the
associated per-CPU variables.  This commit also adds a ->cleanup()
member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test,
after ->cb_barriers().  This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all
existing tests, and thus only used for scrud.  Finally, the SRCU-P
torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N
continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic
srcu_struct structures.

Davidlohr Bueso d36a7a0d5e torture: Address race in module cleanup
When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:

[   94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[   94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task

Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

Paul E. McKenney 69c604557c rcutorture: Add torture tests for RCU-tasks
This commit adds torture tests for RCU-tasks.  It also fixes a bug that
would segfault for an RCU flavor lacking a callback-barrier function.

Paul E. McKenney bde6c3aa99 rcu: Provide cond_resched_rcu_qs() to force quiescent states in long loops
RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks.  In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched().  However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.

This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks.  Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

Paul E. McKenney 38706bc5a2 rcutorture: Add callback-flood test
Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this
capability is not routinely tested.   This commit therefore adds a
cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers
of callbacks.  One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding
up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods.  The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

Joe Perches eea203fea3 rcu: Use pr_alert/pr_cont for printing logs
User pr_alert/pr_cont for printing the logs from rcutorture module directly
instead of writing it to a buffer and then printing it. This allows us from not
having to allocate such buffers. Also remove a resulting empty function.

I tested this using the parse-torture.sh script as follows:

$ dmesg | grep torture > log.txt
$ bash parse-torture.sh log.txt test
$

There were no warnings which means that parsing went fine.

Paul E. McKenney 5228084eed torture: Check for multiple concurrent torture tests
The torture tests are designed to run in isolation, but do not enforce
this isolation.  This commit therefore checks for concurrent torture
tests, and refuses to start new tests while old tests are running.
